@ABitNut your negative trust says that the account is purchased and being used on a signature campaign. I really don't think this is a reason to not trust someone. A purchased account on a signature campaign is providing advertising to the person paying for him signature. A purchased account will likely add to conversations that would likely not otherwise be had because of the incentive to contribute. I do not think this is a valid reason to give negative trust. I think you should remove the trust you left zedicus.

Leaving feedback because of a lack of evidence isn't really a good reason. I don't trust anyone involved in this, so I stay out of it.

Except you and others gave him the feedback as soon as he did post openly. If he posts proof, it's also proof he bought the account. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Makes it really hard to resolve these situations when people leave negative feedback for posting about it. I'm not picking on you specifically, you aren't the only one.
You are both right and reasonable. I haven't seen the new owner do anything weird yet. The "Hero" rank may give them more credibility than they earned, but I guess others will have to see through that. It's hard to tell who is lying and who is telling the truth. I have seen no evidence of an hack. I've seen no evidence of a sale either. As much as I'd like to have some conclusive evidence I'm not willing to invest time in it.
I left my feedback (which I deliberately made with the only facts that I know) as a note (for myself) that the account was sold once. I do not know another way without any negative/positive trust effect to leave a note like this. I had a secondary motive; giving new zedicus a reason to convince the community that they obtained the account in good faith before they get kicked out of their signature campaign.
I admit it's not the intended use of the trust system (and even assholish to make them risk losing their signature campaign) so I will just rely on this thread being around to provide my "note-to-self" and remove my trust on the zedicus account.
I hope account buyers will find a way to avoid these disputes in the future.
